Steak knowledge

The habit of eating beef originated in medieval Europe. Pork and mutton are common people's edible meat, while beef is the high-grade meat of princes and nobles. Noble beef was cooked with pepper and spices, which was also noble at that time, and was eaten on special occasions to show the noble status of the owner.

By the18th century, Britain had become a famous beef consumer.

Today, the United States is the largest consumer of beef, and steak became the favorite way for Americans to eat as early as the middle of the19th century. But in Asia, people have two levels of reaction to beef, such as Japan, which can be said to have brought beef to the extreme.

Western life begins with delicious steak.

As soon as the beef storm subsided, we talked about "eating steak". Perhaps today's urbanites are too fashionable, and they are even more obsessed with the western-style life in the dog days: clubbing and eating western food ... they are really doing urban night return parties. Steak is synonymous with eating western food. Some people say that if you learn to eat steak, you can smoothly enter the western-style life. In this way, people have to talk about western-style "big meat"-steak.

The English word STEAK is a general term for steak. There are many kinds of steaks, and the following four are more common:

TENDERLOIN (beef tenderloin), also called filet, is the most tender meat in beef tenderloin, and it contains almost no fat, so it is very popular with friends who like to eat lean meat. Because the meat is tender, it is suitable for frying until it is 3, 5 and 7 ripe.

Rib eye (naked eye steak) has both lean meat and fat meat. Because it contains a certain amount of fat, this kind of meat tastes better when fried and roasted. Don't overcook it when eating, three is the best.

Sirloin (sirloin steak, beef tenderloin) contains some fat. Because it is beef tenderloin, there is a circle of white muscle on the extension of the meat. The overall taste is tough, the meat is hard and chewy, and it is suitable for young people and people with good teeth. When eating, cut the meat and tendons together, and don't overcook it.

T-bone (T-bone steak), T-shaped, is the back of cattle. On both sides of the T-shape, one side measures more and the other side measures less. It is the naked eye that measures more, and Philip that measures less. This kind of steak is more common in American restaurants. Because French cuisine is exquisite, T-shaped steaks with large quantity and rough quality are rarely used.

The degree of raw steak is called "rare" in western food.

Rare: When cutting steak, only the upper and lower layers are grayish brown, during which 70% of the meat is red with a lot of blood.

Medium: When cutting the steak, 50% of the meat in the center of the section is red with a little blood.

7 well-done: when cutting the steak, there is only a narrow red line in the center of the cut plane, and the blood in the meat is almost dry.

Westerners like to eat raw steak because it is moderately oily, slightly bloodshot and delicious. Orientals prefer 7 ripe, because they are afraid to see blood in the meat, so they think the less blood, the better.

There are many factors that affect the taste of steak, such as the speed of eating. When the steak is served, the speed of enjoyment can determine whether the steak is delicious or not. Because there is both butter and blood in the steak, if the temperature is slightly lower, the freshness of the steak will be reduced. It is common to cut the steak into small pieces, chew it roughly and swallow it. Eating steak pays attention to the heat, rather than enjoying the crisp taste, which is also the difference between stewed beef and fried steak in western food.

In addition, tableware will also affect the taste of steak. The knife for eating steak must be sharp, sometimes the knife is not sharp enough to directly make you doubt the meat quality. So before eating steak, be sure to check whether the knife teeth are clear.

In addition, the sauce also has a great influence on the taste of steak. French steaks pay attention to sauces, such as cream sauce, pepper sauce, red wine sauce, butter and white wine sauce, mushroom sauce, fennel juice and so on. Choose the kind of juice according to your own preferences, and there must be something suitable for you.
